12c CO2 Solubility Brine: Formation Water Salinity:

Salinity has been mapped in Frio oil fields by Morton and Land (1987), as have major- and minor-element ratios. Significant vertical and lateral variation in fluid chemistry is well documented in the Gulf Coast basin and reflects the dynamic evolution of this thick sediment wedge (Macpherson, 1992).
